Law enforcement from both sides of the Ohio River are joining forces to solve the crimes which have put residents in both Mason County and Meigs County on edge. The first armed robbery happened shortly before 10 p.m. on Monday, March 26, when a man brandishing a handgun entered the Par Mar Convenient Store on Second St. in Mason and demanded money from the clerk. The man received an undisclosed amount of cash from the clerk and then fled the store on foot, according to Mason Police Chief David Woolard. Woolard said the suspect was of slender build, wearing a ski mask and dark clothing to hide his appearance. According to law enforcement, the suspect’s age could be anywhere from late teens to early 30s. A security tape of the incident does exist and is being used as a tool in the investigation. Then, on Friday, March 30, shortly before closing time, a similar armed robbery of the TNT Pit- stop in Syracuse, Ohio took place, according to Meigs County Sheriff Robert Beegle whose agency got the call around 10 p.m. that night. Beegle said the male subject pushed through the door as the employee was locking up, ordering the cash to be placed in a bag. The subject had what appeared to be an automatic weapon during the robbery. The subject then fled on foot. The perpetrator is described as a white male, approximately six feet tall and weighing 175 pounds. At the time of the robbery, the subject was wearing black clothes and a black mask.

Arrest made, items recovered in recent burglaries By Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com Brayden Gardner Easter egg hunts are on By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com MIDDLEPORT — While several churches held Easter egg hunts after Palm Sunday services, others have them scheduled throughout this week and on Easter weekend. Some community hunts are also planned. In Pomeroy, the Pomeroy Merchants Association will host a hunt at 1 p.m. on the football field on Saturday, while the Middleport Fire Department will hold its traditional hunt at 1 p.m. on Sunday at Hartinger Park. The Easter bunny will be present at both events to greet the children who will hunt in age categories in different areas of the field. There will be special prizes for the finders of golden eggs at both events. The Middleport First Baptist Church staged its annual hunt Sunday with lots of children scrambling around the church yard in search of well-filled colored eggs. Here little Brayden Gardner looks around for another egg to put in his basket, while Chloe Smith unloads her basket to check out the goodies. MEIGS COUNTY — One suspect is in custody after a string of recent burglaries throughout the county. Jason Hart, 35, of Rutland, was arrested last week on bench warrants from county court. According to the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, Hart gave Deputy Scott Trussell and Deputy Dan Leonard written consent to search his home after paraphernalia was seen by law enforcement. Items found during the search included items from three separate residences recently burglarized. Officers also found suspected narcotics. Hart is believed to have been involved in a March 23 burglary at the home of former State Representative Jimmy Stewart on Salem School Lot Road, the March 29 burglary of the Lois George residence on Market Street in Rutland and a recent burglary at the Paul Anderson residence in the Pomeroy area. According to Sheriff Robert Beegle, Stewart’s step-son, who was in the basement living area at the time of the incident, surprised the burglar causing him to flee. Two safes were taken from the George residence during the burglary of that residence. One night after the robbery at the Anderson residence, it was reported that a male and female approached the house and were run off by the resident. Using a photo lineup, both Stewart’s step-son and Anderson were able to identify Hart. Based on information obtained, deputies, along with the Rutland Fire Department, recovered a safe stolen from the George residence near the intersection of Side Hill Road and Carpenter Hill Road. Jewelry taken during the burglaries has also be recovered from Cash Land, and a cell phone was found belonging to the step-son of Stewart. Anderson was able to identify some of the jewelry and a jewelry box as that taken during the burglary of his residence. The home of Charles Humphrey in Reedsville was broken into on March 27, with a large safe taken. According to deputies, it appears the large safe was dragged toward the gravel pit. Dave Davis also reported to deputies that the Rutland Sewer Treatment Plant had recently been unlawfully entered. The investigation is continuing into the burglaries. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office at (740) 992-3317.

Baker Memorial Scholarship Fund established in Portsmouth By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com MIDDLEPORT — A Baker Memorial Scholarship has been created with the Scioto Foundation in Portsmouth to honor the memory of Larry and Shawn Baker of Middleport. Both men were EMTs and paramedics in southeastern Ohio and were dedicated to emergency health care and educating others on quality patient care. “The scholarship will recognize students in southeastern Ohio who exhibit many of the same unselfish qualities as Shawn and Larry and desire to pursue a career as a paramedic,” said Matt Baker, speaking for the family. He said that students from Meigs, Athens, Vinton, Hocking, Jackson and Gallia counties will be eligible to apply for the scholarship. Larry Lee Baker died unexpectedly on June 7, 2003, at the age of 66. A graduate of Middleport High School, he owned Larry Baker Photography from 1974 until 1999 and retired from Century Aluminum in Ravenswood, West Virginia in 1999 after 33 years. After his retirement, Baker attended classes in fine woodworking at the University of Rio Grande for three years and completed a real estate class. “Although he was dedicated to his family and full-time employment, he received much personal joy and satisfaction from helping and teaching others in the medical field,” said his son, Matt. The elder Baker was an active member of the Middleport Volunteer Fire Department and Middleport First Aid Squad for 40 years, serving 12 of those years as First Aid Chief. He taught EMT classes for the State of Ohio through the Tri-County JVS while completing his paramedic training. For de- cades, he taught EMT classes to area firemen and squad members. Baker and his wife, Phyllis, were the parents of two sons, Shawn and Matt, and the grandparents of three. Following in his father’s footsteps, Michael Shawn Baker, was driven at a young age to become a paramedic. He joined the Middleport Volunteer Fire Department and volunteer EMS before graduating from Meigs High School and attended EMT classes taught by his father. He then worked as a paramedic for SEOEMS, the Gallia County EMS, the Meigs County EMS and Healthnet. The younger Baker began his career with Medflight of Ohio in 1998 and worked for four years on its Mobile Intensive Care Unit in Nelsonville. In August 2002, he achieved his lifetime goal of becoming a flight paramedic and began working in Wellston as a dedicated Medflight partner in the Rotor Wing division. During his eight years as a helicopter paramedic, he also served as a special topics instructor and presented landing zone lectures to area fire departments and EMS units. Like his father, Shawn worked tirelessly educating others on paSee SCHOLARSHIP ‌| 5 �Tuesday, April 3, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Meigs County Local Briefs Community Calendar Wednesday, April 4 HARRISONVILLE — The Scipio Township Trustees will meet at 7 p.m. at the Harrisonville Fire Department.

Ask Dr. Brothers Moving as a child has lasting consequences Dear Dr. Brothers: My parents were at the mercy of their regional company when I was growing up, and we moved around a lot. We never went too far, but always far enough that I had to start over at a new school and make new friends. Now, as an adult, I’ve settled in the community where I got my first job, and I’m terrified of leaving. My boyfriend thinks it’s because I was uprooted so much as a kid. Can this be true, and if so, is there anything I can do about it now? — D.N. Dear D.N.: There is evidence to suggest that moving a lot as a child can be linked to behavioral problems and decreased performance in school as a kid, and a recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology has now tracked these effects into adulthood. Maybe most interestingly, this study found that adults who moved around a lot as children were more likely than adults who lived only in one place as kids to have fewer high-quality social relationships. It could be that kids who move a lot never form the true and lasting friendships that interested in are like adult the same womrel at i o n s h i p s , an.

(c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate Ohio schools switching from quarters to semesters DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Seventeen Ohio universities and community colleges now on the quarter system are ready to switch to a semester-based calendar in a move that officials say will help students transfer more easily between schools. The schools making the switch from 10-week quarters to two-semester calendars have spent more than $26 million over the past four years to prepare for the transition, the Dayton area newspaper reported. Ohio State University, Ohio University and the University of Cincinnati are some of the largest universities affected. Some of the smaller schools include Wright State University and Sinclair and Clark State community colleges. “It’s been, I think, a really tremendous effort, and a tremendous effort during very difficult economic times in the state of Ohio,” said Wright State President David Hopkins. “We came together and agreed it was time for us to do this and do it together.” But not all students support the change, with some worried that they might lose credit hours or otherwise be inconvenienced. “They’re upset that they’re caught in the middle,” said Wright State senior Nicholas Port, who has served on the student government’s semester transition committee. “They think it’s just a hassle, and they might not recognize the benefits now.” Schools have said students will not be delayed in earning degrees or have to spend more money if they develop a plan with their advisers to carry them through the transition. About 250,000 students are finishing the final academic quarter at the schools changing to semesters, which usually last 15 weeks plus exams. “We have promised our students that we’re going to make sure this does not lengthen their time to degree, it does not cost them any more,” Hopkins said. Students will need to start their school year earlier under the semester system, which raises concerns for some officials. “Community colleges tend to have a lot of students who sign up at the last minute,” said Martha Crawmer, Clark State’s dean of arts and sciences and co-chair of its semester conversion committee. “Our biggest concern, our worry is that students are so accustomed to starting after Labor Day, but now we’re starting Aug. 20,” she said. The colleges and universities have spent money on extra advising, new technology, advertising and course revisions. “When we go into the next fall, we’ll feel really good that we’re helping people thrive in the 21st century,” Wright said. Sinclair expects to spend slightly less than the $1.8 million it budgeted, said Allison Rhea, project director for the office of semester transition. She said classes have been combined for semesters, and students overall will end up taking fewer courses. Ohio State paid about $12.6 million, mostly for new technology, while preparing for the transition, spokeswoman Shelly Hoffman said. Although three Ohio community colleges that switched to semesters since 2000 saw a decrease in enrollment the year after the conversion, that drop was attributed to students finishing their degrees before the switch. “We don’t really anticipate any major effect in enrollment,” Crawmer said of Clark State. Terra Community College in Fremont converted to semesters in 2006. Mary McCue, Terra’s director of marketing and auxiliary services, said students seem to enjoy having the academic calendar more aligned with the kindergarten to 12th-grade schedule. “I can’t think of one reason why anyone would not want to do the conversion,” McCue said. �Tuesday, April 3, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Auditions under way for ‘Once Upon A Mattress’ If you thought you knew the story, you may be in for a delightful surprise.

A defiant Rick Santorum outlined plans to leave Wisconsin the day before the state’s contest Tuesday, an indication that the conservative favorite may be in retreat, his chances to stop Romney rapidly dwindling. “I think the chances are overwhelming that (Romney) will be our nominee,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” ”It seems to me we’re in the final phases of wrapping up this nomination. And most of the members of the Senate Republican conference are either supporting him, or they have the view that I do, that it’s time to turn our attention to the fall campaign and begin to make the case against the president of the United States.” Both Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden went after Romney Sunday, underscoring the belief inside Obama’s Chicago re-election headquarters that Romney will — sooner than later — secure the right to face Obama this fall. Romney largely agreed, telling a Madison, Wis., crowd Sunday night that the nominee “will probably be me.” The Obama officials’ involvement comes as both sides sharpen their general election strategy, perhaps weeks before the GOP contest formally comes to an end. “I think Gov. Romney’s a little out of touch,” Biden told CBS’ “Face the Nation” in an interview broadcast Sunday. “I can’t remember a presidential candidate in the recent past who seems not to understand, by what he says, what ordinary middleclass people are thinking about and are concerned about.” The line of attack is likely to play prominently in the Obama campaign’s general election narrative. While Obama is a millionaire, Romney would be among the nation’s wealthiest presidents ever elected. And he’s opened himself to criticism through a series of missteps. Romney casually bet a rival $10,000 during a presidential debate, noted that his wife drives a “couple of Cadillacs,” and lists owners of professional sports teams among his friends. His personal tax records show investments in the Cayman Islands and a Swiss bank account. Obama’s team on Sunday also seized on Romney’s foreign policy inexperience. Biden said Obama was “stating the obvious” when he told Russian President Dmitry Medve- dev that he would have more latitude on missile defense after the November general election. The two presidents did not realize the exchange, during a meeting in Seoul, South Korea, last weekend, was being picked up by a microphone. Romney called it “alarming” and part of a pattern of “breathtaking weakness” with America’s foes. He asked what else Obama would be flexible on if he were to win a second term. “Speaking of flexible, Gov. Romney’s a pretty flexible guy on his positions,” Biden said. Romney’s GOP opponents have accused the former Massachusetts governor of “flip-flopping” on issues such as health care and abortion. Clinton seized on Romney’s comment that Russia is America’s “No. 1 geopolitical foe,” calling the statement “dated” and suggesting there were more pressing matters of concern in global affairs. “I think it’s somewhat dated to be looking backwards instead of being realistic about where we agree, where we don’t agree,” Clinton told CNN Sunday. “He just seems to be uninformed or stuck in a Cold War mentality,” Biden added. “It exposes how little the governor knows about foreign policy.” But the administration’s comments may have been overshadowed Sunday by Romney’s ballooning Republican support. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., spent the weekend at Romney’s side campaigning across Wisconsin, one of three states to host Republican primaries Tuesday. First-term Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., followed Ryan’s lead Sunday morning. “I’m coming out urging the voters of Wisconsin: ‘Let’s lead. Let’s show that this is the time to bring this process to an end so we can focus our attention on retiring President Obama,’” Johnson said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He later appeared at a pancake brunch with Romney and offered a message to “every conservative”: “I’ve spoken with Mitt, I totally believe he is committed to saving America.” The senator joins a growing chorus of prominent Republicans calling for the party to coalesce behind Romney’s candidacy. Romney also scored former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and his father, President George H.W. Bush, in recent days. Ryan’s endorsement was particularly painful for Santorum, who had been aggressively praising the congressman — a fiscal conservative hero in Wisconsin and across the country — for much of the past week. That praise ended Saturday, when Santorum referred to Ryan as “some other Wisconsinite.” Santorum’s senior staff outlined an increasingly unlikely path to victory that depends upon hypothetical success more than a month away. “May is going to be a good month for us,” Santorum campaign manager Mike Biundo said. “The race goes on.” Biundo confirmed that Santorum is aggressively working the phones to sway delegates in states like Washington, Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri that have already voted. But he’s having mixed success. “We have some (delegates) that have committed. I think most people seem to right now still be kind of waiting it out. There seems to be a lot of that that’s going on,” Biundo said. Santorum was publicly defiant Sunday. “Look, this race isn’t even at halftime yet,” he told “Fox News Sunday.” He said Romney “hasn’t been able to close the deal with conservatives, much less anybody else in this party. And that’s not going to be an effective tool for us to win this election.” But with losses piling up for in other industrial states like Ohio, Michigan and Illinois, Santorum acknowledged the results in Wisconsin Tuesday will send a “strong signal” about the direction of the Republican contest. And he appears to in retreat. Having devoted more than a week to campaigning across Wisconsin, Santorum is scheduled to return to his home state, Pennsylvania, the day before the Wisconsin contest. Pennsylvania’s primary is more than three weeks away. Santorum noted that he moved out of Louisiana — where he won — before that state’s election day. But Santorum’s team has demonstrated far less confidence in recent days about Wisconsin than Romney, who has predicted victory here. Trying to be upbeat, Santorum dismissed Romney’s growing support as “panic” in the Republican establishment and said seeing “everybody sort of coming out of the woodwork to say the things they’re saying today makes me feel like we’re actually doing pretty well here in Wisconsin.” Meanwhile, Romney hopes to score a knockout blow in Pennsylvania, which hosts its primary April 24. He already has an office in Harrisburg and four paid staffers in the state, and plans to shift additional resources there after Tuesday. With about half of the GOP nominating contests complete, Romney has won 54 percent of the delegates at stake, putting him on track to reach the threshold 1,144 national convention delegates in June. Santorum, who has won 27 percent of the delegates at stake, would need to win 74 percent of the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination. the Hermann Fine Arts Center at Marietta College.

(AP) — A suspect was detained Monday in a shooting attack at an Oakland Christian university that sources said has left at least five people dead. Law enforcement sources close to the investigation told The Associated Press that at least five people have died after the morning shooting at Oikos University. Meanwhile, police said a suspect was detained in the attack. Officer Johnna Watson did not give any other details about the arrest. “I can confirm that we do have one person who has been detained that we believe is possibly responsible for this shooting,” Watson said. Four victims arrived at Highland Hospital for treatment, said spokeswoman Jerri Randrup. Earlier, television news footage showed officers surrounding the building in search of the suspect. The footage also showed wounded people being carried out of the building, and more gurneys were being brought in. “One of the people who was inside the building, she was saying there is a crazy guy inside,” witness Brian Snow told KGO-TV. “She did say someone got shot in the chest right next to her before she got taken off in an ambulance.” According of its website, Oikos University offers studies in theology, music, nursing and Asian medicine. Temporary outage of Visa card network Sunday WASHINGTON (AP) — A technical problem affecting the Visa network barred some people around the United States from using their credit and debit cards for about 45 minutes on Sunday, the company said. The outage was caused by a recent update Visa has made to its system, said Visa Inc. spokeswoman Sandra Chu. She said Visa had trouble processing some transactions as a result, but the system is operating normally now. Chu said the problem Sunday was unrelated to the security breach potentially affecting Visa and MasterCard customers that was reported Friday by credit card processor Global Payments Inc. The outage occurred from around 2:40 p.m. to 3:20 p.m. EDT, a person from a major bank said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because bank employees were not authorized to speak publicly. Visa had notified the banks that are members of its network of the problem. Consumers and merchants reported having Visa cards rejected on Sunday. At the Shoot Smart gun range in Fort Worth, Texas, manager Jared Sloane said credit and debit transactions stopped working early in the afternoon. Sloane said a few customers walked out when told they could only pay with cash or check, but otherwise the problem wasn’t yet much of a disruption.

Peace threatened to break out all up and down the lines until those pitiless realists on both sides, the generals, forced their minions to restart the interminable slaughter. The Israeli’s video also brought back the memory of a powerful event thousands of us attended in 1984. To celebrate the achievements of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, my organization, Beyond War, had set up a live televised satellite “spacebridge” between Moscow and San Francisco. Large audiences in both places listened to the pleas of the two leaders of the IPPNW, Leonid Brezhnev’s personal physician Evgeny Chazov, and the distinguished Boston cardiologist Bernard Lown, for reconciliation between the Soviet and American nations. Chazov played a recording of a healthily pulsating heart to underscore the reality that human hearts beat identically everywhere. The Moscow Boy’s Choir and the San Francisco Boy’s Choir sang—together. But the most extraordinary moment was unscripted. It came at the very end of the ceremony when the production credits were already rolling on giant screens in the two venues. Tentatively at first, people in the audience in Moscow began waving to people in Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. the audience in San Francisco. Soon all of us at both ends of the “spacebridge” were standing and enthusiastically waving to each other. Many on both sides began to weep at that moment, as if an emotional dam had burst. Was this merely a kind of delusion, a facile collectivist sentimentality? Not in the context of the 1980s, when, 20 years after the near-apocalypse of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the placement of short-range nuclear missiles in Europe and the U.S.S.R. had shortened to a few minutes the reaction-time military decision makers were permitted before they had to make a decision to retaliate. Looking back from this new century, it seems a kind of miracle that we made it through 50 years of cold war unscathed. The understanding that thousands of peace activists, diplomats and leaders of non-aligned nations had worked to seed into the global culture, that we will survive together or die together on this planet, had borne fruit in a moment of human contact that leapfrogged over the pessimistic realism of the foreign policy establishment. One of these pessimists wrote a scathing analysis of the spacebridge in the Wall Street Journal, asserting that Beyond War had been duped by the Soviet government in a propaganda coup. But it was only a few years later that the optimistic realism of the spacebridge prevailed, the first nuclear disarmament treaty was signed by Reagan and Gorbachev in 1987, and the Berlin Wall came down in 1989. International relations today continue to run along a narrow track of competitive gloom: the “realistic” assumption, since it cannot be known for certain, of the ad- versary’s malign motivation. A prominent University of Chicago intellectual, Professor John Mearsheimer, a believer in “offensive realism,” warns us that just as the U.S. enjoys hegemonic control of the Western Hemisphere, the Chinese surely wish to achieve a similar hegemony in their sphere, and will need to be checked by U.S. power. Leaving aside our questionable right to limit in another hemisphere the degree of domination we reserve for our own, what the distinguished professor’s probing analysis leaves out makes his “realism” offensive in the other sense. If the great powers continue to compete on the worst-case analysis of the unknowability of each other’s intentions, they will have completely ignored the largest, and perfectly knowable, threats to their mutual security: the possibility of sudden catastrophe by a nuclear war that no nation can possibly win, or gradual catastrophe by environmental degradation. Neither of these challenges require more submarines and aircraft carriers checking power with power, but rather a spirit of cooperation based in common survival goals—the very spirit we saw when Soviets and Americans spontaneously waved to each other and wiped out the distance between them—the same spirit demonstrated by a lone Israeli citizen, now joined apparently by thousands of others, shouting “enough!” to the folly of mutual nuclear paranoia between Iran and Israel. Winslow Myers, the author of “Living Beyond War: A Citizen’s Guide,” serves on the Board of Beyond War (www.beyondwar.org), a non-profit educational foundation whose mission is to explore, model and promote the means for humanity to live without war.

Plane crash in Siberia kills 31 of 43 on board MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian passenger plane crashed into a snowy field in Siberia shortly after takeoff Monday, killing 31 of the 43 people on board, officials said. The 12 survivors were hospitalized in serious condition. The ATR-72 plane operated by UTair took off at 7:40 a.m. from Tyumen, a regional center in Siberia about 1,700 kilometers (1,000 miles) east of Moscow, heading for the oil town of Surgut, about 650 kilometers (400 miles) away. The plane came down in a field about three kilometers (two miles) away from the Tyumen airport, breaking into three sections upon impact. Part of it was destroyed by a fire that burned at least six people to death, said Tyumen Airport chief Sergei Kiselyov. The cause of the crash was not immediately clear, but investigators said evidence so far points to a technical failure of the French/Italian-made twin-engine turboprop. They noted MIAMI (AP) — Political leaders, sport stars and entertainers were among several thousand people who gathered Sunday at a Miami rally to call for an arrest in the fatal shooting of an unarmed Florida teenager by a neighborhood watch volunteer. The rally in 17-year-old Trayvon Martin’s hometown was one of the largest yet and drew basketball stars Alonzo Mourning and Isaiah Thomas, singers Chaka Khan and Betty Wright, politicians and civil rights leaders. Martin’s father, speaking briefly, promised the crowd he would not stop fighting “for my Trayvon and for your Trayvon.” “Each and every one of us feels the pain of this family simply because Trayvon Martin could have been one of all of us,” said Mourning, the former Miami Heat player. The rally came a day after thousands marched through Sanford, the central Florida town where 28-year-old George Zimmerman shot and killed Martin in February. Martin was walking back from a convenience store, where he had gone to buy candy and iced tea, when he and Zimmerman got into an altercation. Zimmerman says he was attacked and has claimed self-defense; Martin’s family disputes his version of events. They point to 911 calls, a surveillance video of Zimmerman from shortly after the fatal shooting, and other records that they say prove Martin was not the aggressor. Zimmerman has not been arrested, though state and federal au- thorities are investigating. The case has led to protests across the nation and spurred a debate about race and the laws of self-defense. Martin was black; Zimmerman’s father is white and his mother is Hispanic. Speaking at the rally Sunday, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said the case was about ending all types of racial profiling — not just in criminal cases, but by banks, insurance companies and in the job market. “End profiling now,” the civil rights activist said to applause. Jackson also said Martin’s case illustrated the high number of black students who are suspended from school. A report issued by the U.S. Department of Education last month found that black students are more than three times as likely as their white peers to be suspended or expelled. Martin had been suspended from school for having a baggie that contained marijuana residue shortly before he was killed. “We must stop suspending our children,” Jackson said, asking the crowd to repeat: “Invest in them. Educate them.” Many of the people who gathered at the bayside park on a sunny afternoon wore Tshirts with Martin’s image and the words “Justice for Trayvon.” Others wore buttons that said, “Do I look suspicious?” One man had a Mohawk with an image of Trayvon Martin painted on one side. A marching band from a high school that the teen attended danced, sang and beat drums. From Page 1 sue donor, Shawn’s last act was in serving others,” said Matt Baker. “He will be remember not only for his sense of humor and fun-loving demeanor, but also for his dedication to his family, coworkers and the patients he cared for and whose lives he saved.” In addition to his parents and brother, Baker is survived by his wife, Tina, nephews and nieces and other family members. Baker’s memory was honored nationally when his name was etched onto the Air Medical Memorial located outside of Denver, Colo., and he was recog- nized by the National EMS Memorial for his dedication to the medical field. The first Baker Memorial Scholarship will be awarded in the spring of 2013 to a student in southeastern Ohio who is seeking to enter the emergency medical field as a paramedic. The scholarship will be awarded on a competitive basis.

Woolard would not say if the likely perpetrator was from the Ohio or West Virginia side of the Ohio River. Woolard said he’s heard of no other similar incidents in Mason since last Mon- day’s armed robbery and has spoken with most business owners, urging them to be on alert and to be aware of (and report) any suspicious individuals or activity. Anyone with information concerning the robbery is asked to contact the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office at (740) 992-3371 or the Mason PD at 304-773-5201. Thousands gather at Miami rally for Trayvon Martin tient care and giving back to communities in southeastern Ohio. He taught First Aid and CPR at the University of Rio Grande Meigs Center and was instrumental in organizing and beginning the only paid EMS in Meigs County. In addition to his medical career, Baker was a journeyman electrician and a Certified Master Dog Trainer.

According to Woolard, there are definitely leads and suspects in the cases at this time. that witnesses reported seeing smoke coming from its engines as the plane came down and said the pilots had tried to return to the airport. The federal Investigative Committee said while equipment failure appeared to be the most likely cause of the crash, pilot error or mistakes by traffic controllers had not been ruled out. All of the 39 passengers and four crew on board were Russian, according to a list by Utair. “One survivor stood up on his own and waited until he was given medical help and only then felt worse,” Kiselyov told the state news agency RIA Novosti. Russia has seen a string of deadly crashes in recent years. Some have been blamed on the use of aging Soviet-era aircraft, but industry experts point to a number of other problems, including poor crew training, crumbling airports, lax government controls and widespread neglect of safety in the pursuit of profits. Pilot error was blamed for a September crash in Yaroslavl, a Russian city 250 kilometers (150 miles) northeast of Moscow, that killed 44 people, including a professional hockey team. Pilot error and fog also were ruled the main causes of a crash in April 2010 that killed Poland’s president and 95 other people as their plane was trying to land near Smolensk, in western Russia. The ATR-72 has been involved in several accidents in past years. Most recently, one went down in bad weather in Cuba in November 2010, killing all 68 people on board. Cuban aviation officials said the investigation showed there was nothing wrong with the aircraft. In August 2009, an ATR-72 flown by Bangkok Airways skidded off the runway and crashed into a building after landing in stormy weather on the Thai resort island of Samui, killing the pilot and injuring seven people. High court upholds jails’ strip searches WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Monday that jailers may subject people arrested for minor offenses to invasive strip searches, siding with security needs over privacy rights. By a 5-4 vote, the court ruled against a New Jersey man who complained that strip searches in two county jails violated his civil rights. Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his majority opinion for the court’s conservative justices that when people are going to be put into the general jail population, “courts must defer to the judgment of correctional officials unless the record contains substantial evidence showing their policies are an unnecessary or unjustified response to problems of jail security.” In a dissenting opinion joined by the court’s liberals, Justice Stephen Breyer said strip searches improperly “subject those arrested for minor offenses to serious invasions of their personal privacy.” Breyer said jailers ought to have a reasonable suspicion someone may be hiding something before conducting a strip search. Albert Florence was forced to undress and submit to strip searches following his arrest on a warrant for an unpaid fine, though the fine actually had been paid. Even if the warrant had been valid, failure to pay a fine is not a crime in New Jersey. But Kennedy focused on the fact that Florence was held with other inmates in the general population. In concurring opinions, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito said the decision left open the possibility of an exception to the rule and might not apply to someone held apart from other inmates. The first strip search of Florence took place in the Burlington County Jail in southern New Jersey. Six days later, Florence had not received a hearing and remained in custody. Transferred to another county jail in Newark, he was strip-searched again. Scholarship The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 www.mydailysentinel.com The next day, a judge dismissed all charges. Florence’s lawsuit soon followed. He may still pursue other claims, including that he never should have been arrested. Florence’s problems arose in March 2005, as he was heading to dinner at his mother-in-law’s house with his pregnant wife and 4-yearold child. His wife, April, was driving when a state trooper stopped the family SUV on a New Jersey highway. Florence identified himself as the vehicle’s owner and the trooper, checking records, found an outstanding warrant for an unpaid fine. Florence, who is African-American, had been stopped several times before, and he carried a letter to the effect that the fine, for fleeing a traffic stop several years earlier, had been paid. His protest was in vain, however, and the trooper handcuffed him and hauled him off to jail. At the time, the State Police were operating under a court order, spawned by allegations of past racial discrimination, that provided federal monitors to assess state police stops of minority drivers. But the propriety of the stop is not at issue, and Florence is not alleging racial discrimination. Kennedy gave three reasons to justify routine searches — detecting lice and contagious infections, looking for tattoos and other evidence of gang membership and preventing smuggling of drugs and weapons. Kennedy also said people arrested for minor offenses can turn out to be “the most devious and dangerous criminals.” Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh initially was stopped by a state trooper who noticed McVeigh was driving without a license plate, Kennedy said. In his dissent, Breyer said inmates in the two New Jer- sey jails already have to submit to pat-down searches, pass through metal detectors, shower with delousing agents and have their clothing searched. Many jails, several states and associations of corrections officials say strip searches should only be done when there is reasonable suspicion, which could include arrest on drug charges or for violent crimes, Breyer said. In 1979, the Supreme Court upheld a blanket policy of conducting body cavity searches of prisoners who had had contact with visitors on the basis that the interaction with outsiders created the possibility that some prisoners got hold of something they shouldn’t have. For the next 30 or so years, appeals courts applying the high court ruling held uniformly that strip searches without suspicion violated the Constitution.

Rogers Basement Waterproofing �Tuesday, April 3, 2012 URG rallies past Patriots, 7-5 By: Randy Payton Special to OVP W I LLI A M S BU RG , Ky. — Kyle Perez went 3-for-3 and drove in a run, while teammates Grant Tamane and Luke Taylor both went 2-for-3 with a run batted in to help the University of Rio Grande post a come-from-behind 7-5 win over the University of the Cumberlands, Saturday morning, in Mid-South Conference baseball action. The RedStorm, who improved to 23-15 overall and 5-6 inside the MSC, rallied from a 3-1 first inning deficit to earn the victory in a game that was pushed back one day as a result of a long rain delay on Friday which prevented a scheduled doubleheader from being completed. Cumberlands dropped to 19-17 overall and 6-6 in league play. Rio went in front to stay with a three-run third inning that transformed a 3-2 deficit into a tworun lead. Perez, a junior from Casselberry, Fla. and Tamane, a freshman from Pickering, Ontario, Canada, began the inning with back-to-back singles against UC starter Drew Morgan before senior Brian Suerdick hit a gametying sacrifice fly to left. Junior Shane Spies followed with a go-ahead double to center and freshman Tim Easterling added a run-scoring single to left to make it 5-3. The RedStorm extended their cushion to 6-3 in the fourth when Tamane successfully executed a one-out suicide squeeze bunt to score freshman Ethan Abell, but the Patriots rebounded to keep things interesting by scoring once in the bottom of the inning and adding an- other marker in the fifth. Justin Jackson brought home UC’s fourth inning run with a two-out triple to right-center, while Brandon Napier’s sacrifice fly in the fifth pulled the Patriots to within 6-5. Rio added an insurance run in the sixth when Taylor reached on a one-out single, stole second and third and scored on a twoout single to shallow left field by Perez. Senior closer Ryan Chapman came on in relief of junior starter Eric Ford after Ford issued a walk to Daniel Lokesak to begin the sixth inning and retired each of the six batters he faced to notch his second save of the series and his fifth of the season. Cumberlands spotted the RedStorm a 1-0 first inning lead when Perez led off with a single and scored moments later as Suerdick bounced into a double-play, but rebounded with three runs of its own against Ford in the bottom of the frame. Napier drew a one-out bases-loaded walk to tie the game and Andrew Fox followed with a two-run single to right-center to give UC the lead. Rio made it 3-2 in the second on a run-scoring groundout off the bat of Taylor. Ford earned his first win in five decisions despite allowing six hits and five runs – all earned, as well as four walks in fiveplus innings. Morgan (1-2) took the loss for UC, giving up seven hits and five runs in 2-1/3 innings of work. Rio Grande returns to action on Tuesday, traveling to Salem (W.Va.) International for a pair of seven-inning contests. First pitch for game one is set for 4 p.m. Report: OSU paid $25.6M in bonuses in 2011 DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Five medical professors and two coaches at Ohio State University received bonuses topping $1 million in 2011, most of them more than double the size of their base earnings, according to a newspaper review of public records. The bonuses are among about $25.6 million total given to more than 4,000 employees, a jump of nearly 89 percent from the $13.6 million handed out in 2010 to about 1,700 employees, the Dayton Daily News reported in its Sunday editions (http://bit.ly/ H456Ed). Basketball coach Thad Matta was the highest earner, with a bonus of about $1.1 million boosting his annual pay to about $2.2 million. The second-highest paid employee was a heart specialist and associate professor at the university medical center who received the most generous bonus — nearly $1.4 million — to earn more than $2 million for the year. The scale of the bonuses “is not the norm in higher education,” said Richard Vedder, director of the nonprofit Center for College Affordability and Productivity, based in Washington. “I have never seen anything like this — never,” Vedder, who also is a professor of economics at Ohio University in Athens, told the newspaper. Ohio State officials defended the bonuses, noting that they are not paid with tax or tuition dollars, but from the self-funded medical center and athletics department. They said the top medical center bonuses were given to the physicians to commemorate five years of hard work. “These five physicians were hired five years ago to build a nationally respected program in cardiac electrophysiology. Today, that program is the largest in the state and treats patients from throughout a multistate region,” said Ohio State spokesman Jim Lynch, adding that the school was ranked 17th among public universities and colleges in the latest U.S. From Page 6 the bases loaded to close out the contest. Bishop Watterson outhit GAHS by a 13-5 margin and committed one error in the triumph, compared to three miscues by the guests.

Ohio collected the winning decision for the Eagles after surrendering just two runs, five hits and two walks over seven frames. Ty Warnimont paced Gallia Academy with three hits, while Gus Graham added the other two safeties. Warnimont and John Faro each drove in a run, while Graham and Warnimont each scored once. Traini, Greene, Jacknewitz and Latimer each had two hits to lead the Eagles. Latimer and Douthitt both drove in two RBIs apiece. Devils Bobby Dunlap with two safeties apiece. Ty Warnimont, Drew Young, Gus Graham and Cody Russell also added a hit each to the winning cause. Graham produced a team-best two RBIs, while Clagg scored three times in the opener. Smolik and Diorio both had two hits to lead Watterson, while Smolik and Martin each drove in two runs. GAHS opened Game 2 by establishing a 1-0 lead a half-inning in, but Bishop Watterson countered with three runs in the second for a 3-1 edge through two complete. The Eagles added a run in the fourth, two in the fifth and four more in the sixth, giving BWHS a comfortable 10-1 cushion through six complete. The Blue Devils tacked on a run in the seventh to pull within eight, but left The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 www.mydailysentinel.com URG softball splits with Patriots By: Randy Payton Special to OVP ST. CATHARINE, Ky. — After being blanked on just three hits in the opening game of its Saturday afternoon doubleheader with the University of Rio Grande, St. Catharine College rallied late in the back end of the twinbill to salvage a split with the RedStorm in Mid-South Conference softball action. Rio got a big game from senior Anna Smith — both in the pitcher’s circle and at the plate — to win the opener, 9-0, but watched the Patriots erase an early three-run deficit in the nightcap en route to an 8-4 triumph. The game two win was the first in 14 MSC contests for St. Catharine, which improved to 11-25 overall. The RedStorm slipped to 14-11 overall and 6-6 in the conference after the split. In game one, Smith scattered three singles and walked one while striking out nine in a complete game effort. She also finished 3-for-4 with four RBIs at the plate, including a three-run home run in a four-run fifth inning. Rio took a 1-0 lead in the fourth against SC starter Ashley Cardenas on consecutive inning-opening singles by senior Nicole Sargent, freshman Allison Hurst and junior Kaitie Stewart, but it was the big fifth inning that blew things open. Junior Kaylee Walk began the inning with a walk and junior Katie Fuller reached on an error before Smith deposited an 0-2 pitch over the fence in right-center for a 4-0 advantage. Sargent and Hurst followed with a walk and a double, respectively, before Stewart hit a sacrifice fly to center. Smith also delivered a run-scoring hit in the sixth inning before freshman Haley Gwin belted a two-run home run in the seventh inning to complete the scoring. Fuller, Sargent and Hurst all finished with two hits as the RedStorm collected 13 as a team. Rio also started game two in grand fashion, racing to a 3-0 second inning lead against SC starter Amber Matteoli. Hurst began the inning with a single to right-center before Stewart cracked her first home run of the season to make it 2-0. Gwin followed with a single and eventually came home on a two-out single by Fuller. The Patriots cut the deficit to one after a two-run home run by Hagan Goldey in the third, but it was consecutive three-run innings in the fifth and sixth frames which put the hosts ahead to stay. Matteoli had a two-run single in the sixth and drove in another run with a fielder’s choice grounder in the fifth, while Brandi Hood had RBI singles in both innings. St. Catharine finished with 14 hits in the win, with seven players – Kasie Prather, Goldey, Hood, Taylor Steff, Matteoli, Chelcie Rein and Ashley Hardin – collecting two each. Smith suffered the loss, allowing seven hits and four runs in 4-1/3 innings. She walked one and fanned six. Matteoli went the distance to get the win, allowing eight hits and two walks while striking out six. Rio Grande returns to action Tuesday afternoon with a doubleheader at Mid-South Conference foe Georgetown (Ky.) College. First pitch for game one is set for 2 p.m. URG women finish 4th and men finish 9th at Cedarville Inv By: Randy Payton Special to OVP CEDARVILLE, Ohio – A trio of second-place finishes and two third-place showings helped the University of Rio Grande women’s track and field team to a fourth place finish, while the RedStorm men placed ninth in Saturday’s Cedarville Invitational hosted by Cedarville University. Senior Cassie Mattia had one of the secondplace performances as an individual with a time of 2:20.28 in the 800-meter run and was also part of the 4x400 relay squad — the group also included seniors Kayla Graves and Kayla Renner and freshman Samantha Barnes — which finished in the runner-up spot after crossing the finish line in a time of 4:06.95. Junior Kim Strunk took second place in the shot put with a heave of 12.12m, while Renner was third in the 1500-meter run at 4:50.16 and freshman Whittley Nelson took third in the triple jump with a leap of 9.45m. Rio Grande finished with 55 points among the 15 schools in the women’s competition. Event host Cedarville topped the women’s division with 189 points, while Ohio Wesleyan (132.5) and Wright State (111) completed the top three. Among the men who competed for the RedStorm, junior Nick Wilson had the best performance with a second place outing in the 1500-meter run, finishing in a time of 4:05.42. Rio Grande’s total of 19 points was ninth among the 12 teams in the men’s bracket. Again, it was Cedarville which took first place with 124.5 points, while Ohio Wesleyan was second at 109 and Wittenberg was third with 103.5 points. Two other top five finishes highlighted the day for the Rio women. Graves was fourth in the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:04.55, while Strunk too fifth in the discus with a toss of 32.08m. Also for the women, junior Tracie Brown was sixth in the discus at 31.92m and eighth in the hammer throw with a heave of 38.34m; the 4x100 relay team – comprised of Graves and the freshmen trio of Shameca Armstrong, Renee Davis and Nelson – was seventh with a time of 53.77; Barnes, who grabbed ninth in the 800 with a time of 2:24.71; Strunk, who was 10th in the hammer throw with a toss of 34.80m; Armstrong, who was 11th in the 100-meter dash at 13.91 and 19th in the long jump with a leap of 4.25m; Davis, who was 13th in the 100-meter Hurdles at 17.41 and 20th in the long jump at 4.17m; Nelson, who was 15th in the long jump at 4.37m; freshman Kaitlyn Roberts, who took 15th in the hammer throw with a toss of 32.54m; freshman Brittany Piccone, who placed 23rd in the 1500-meter run with a time of 5:27.90; and senior Danielle Stockham (London, OH), who grabbed 28th place in the 800 by crossing the line in a time of 3:05.78. In addition to Wilson’s outing in the 1500, sophomore Travontae Wilson gave Rio a top five finish on the men’s side by taking fourth in the long jump with a top leap of 6.19m. He also took 13th in the 100-meter dash in a time of 12.04. Also among the men, the RedStorm was represented by senior Matt Spencer, who was sixth in the 800-meter run at 1:57.51; junior Joe Taranto, who picked up a ninth place showing in the 1500 with a time of 4:14.08; junior Chad McCarty, who was 11th in the 1500 after crossing the line in 4:17.27; freshman Dustin Moritz, who was 13th in the 1500 at 4:21.28 and 27th in the 800 with a time of 2:05.96; and sophomore Kevin Malone, who placed 15th in the 400-meter dash with a time of 52.90. Rio Grande returns to action on Saturday afternoon in the Don Frail Invitational at Marietta College. The meet is scheduled to get underway at noon. Newman wins wild finish at Martinsville MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Ryan Newman needed help and was running out of time. Finally, Clint Bowyer provided an opening with two laps to go at Martinsville Speedway. Bowyer’s aggressive move took out race leaders Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson entering the first turn, allowing Newman to slide into the lead, and he held off A.J. Allmendinger and Dale Earnhardt Jr. on another restart for his first win in 23 races. “We were not a dominate race car,” Newman said. “Clint kind of cleared out Turn One for us and we were fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time.” The reverse was true for Gordon, who led 328 laps, and Johnson, who led 112. The Hendrick Motorsports teammates seemed poised to battle it out to see which one would give owner Rick Hendrick his 200th Sprint Cup victory, and neither had a chance in the end. “Jeff and I had been the class of the field so I really thought it was going to be a race between the two of us, and it certainly didn’t turn out that way,” Johnson said. He wound up 12th, and Gordon was 14th. Of the restart, Johnson said: “That inside lane is awfully inviting at times to dive-bomb on people. The No. 15 (Bowyer) threw a dive-bomb in there. I’m sure once he got in there, he realized it wasn’t the best idea. It turned me around. It turned the No. 24 around.” Gordon angrily sought out Bowyer after the race, and heard the whole story. “He said he got hit from behind by the 39 (Newman),” Gordon said. “I had nowhere to go. Jimmie had nowhere to go. It was pretty unfortunate. … I didn’t want to see that last caution. We had such a great battle with (Johnson). … It was going to be an interesting race. “That’s just the way our year’s been going. It can’t go on like this forever.” Gordon improved three spots in the points standings, but is still just 22nd. Newman’s performance drew praise from car owner Tony Stewart. “I’m ecstatic for Ryan,” the defending series champion said. “I got to see it on the replay during the caution after all the havoc broke loose. Ryan made an awesome move to the bottom. He was heads up to get in the gas and through that hole before it closed up.” Allmendinger was second, followed by Earnhardt, Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex Jr. The finish overshadowed what had been a stirring duel between Gordon, a seven-time winner on the 0.526-mile oval, and Johnson, a six-time winner. Johnson first took the lead when he passed Gordon on the 356th lap. He lost it on pit road, then passed Denny Hamlin to lead again on lap 393. He held off a modest challenge by Gordon with about 30 laps to go and then dueled side-by-side with his teammate until the caution, which came when David Reutimann ran out of gas near the entrance to turn one. Gordon, who had just nudged in front of Johnson before the yellow flag came out, was the leader, with Johnson second and everyone behind them heading to pit road for tires. What had been an atypically clean raced turned into mayhem on the restart. Earnhardt, who was in position to give Hendrick a sweep of the top three spots before the caution, said everyone being on fresh tires played a factor in the crash. “We all took off and ran into the back of the leaders, all of us,” he said. Earnhardt had no issue with Bowyer for trying to take the inside line, saying that’s how you approach a twolap sprint, but was at a loss to explain Reutimann’s actions. “I would like an explanation on why that happened,” he said of Reutimann stopping where he did after having made several troubled laps without going to the pits. “There doesn’t seem like there could be a logical reason for him to have to stop on the track.” Reutimann said his motor just died. “I would not have stopped on the freaking racetrack. I would have limped it around there and come to pit road, which is what I was trying to do,” he said. “The thing quit going down the back straightaway, and it shut off. I just didn’t stop there intentionally.” Greg Biffle, who finished 13th, remained the points leader by six over Earnhardt. Reds LH Chapman moved back to bullpen GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Left-hander Aroldis Chapman is headed back to the Cincinnati Reds’ injury-depleted bullpen after spending spring training getting ready to be a starter. Chapman, entering his third season with Cincinnati, had hoped to get back into a starting role after spending most of the last two seasons pitching in relief. Manager Dusty Baker said injuries forced the change in plans on Monday. “That was a very, very tough decision because Chapman could be one of our best starters or best relievers,” Baker said. “It is a situation where with the injuries that we have, starting out early in the season when the starters are lucky to go five or six innings, we had to shore up our bullpen.” Closer Ryan Madson is out for the season after tearing a ligament in his elbow. Setup man Nick Masset will start the season on the 15-day disabled list with an inflamed pitching shoulder. Left-hander Bill Bray missed most of spring training with a strained groin and is still getting sharp. The rotation is set, so Chapman would have opened the season in TripleA if he was a starter. The Reds decided to keep him in the majors as a reliever for now. “This early in the year, the bullpen does a third to half the work,” Baker said. “It only takes one dude to have one bad inning. One dude can have a bad inning and ruin hours of work.” The Reds signed the Cuban defector to a six-year, $30.25 million deal before the 2010 season, expecting him to develop into a hardthrowing starter. With their rotation set, they moved him into a relief role midway through that season, then called him up in August. He went 2-2 with a 2.03 ERA in 15 relief appearances as the Reds won the NL Central. Chapman struggled with his control last season and spent time in the minors. He was 4-1 with a 3.60 ERA in 54 appearances for Cincinnati overall. �Tuesday, april 3, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt www.mydailysentinel.com BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Tuesday, April 3, 2012 BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, April 3, 2012: Curb a tendency to focus on petty issues and to get caught up in them.

Of course. I love Ohio State,” he said with a grin. OK, so the Buckeyes are set at the point. Forward? They might not know that for a week or two. Ohio State shook off a late-season funk to make an unexpected run to the Final Four. The Buckeyes are young — William Buford is the only outgoing senior — giving them a solid core for next season. The question is whether that core will stay together. Jared Sullinger and Deshaun Thomas, the team’s leading scorers, have until April 10 — at least by NCAA guidelines — to decide if they want to declare for the NBA draft. Thomas was a breakout star in the NCAA tournament, leading the Buckeyes in scoring. A multidimensional 6-foot-7 forward, he might consider leaving if he’s projected to be selected in the first round. Sullinger was projected as a lottery pick last year before deciding to return for his sophomore season. His draft stock might have dipped a little, but he’d still likely be a high first-round pick if he comes out. “I honestly don’t know yet,” said Sullinger, who pulled up his jersey to cover his face after the loss to Kansas. If the Final Four loss was the end, it was a tough way to go out. Playing for a spot in its second title game in five years, Ohio State (31-8) pushed Kansas around early but didn’t have an answer when the Jayhawks pushed back in the second half. Sullinger, a two-time All-American, had a tough night against Kansas center Jeff Withey and a slew of double teams in the second half, hitting 5 of 19 shots while scoring 13 points. Thomas had a rough go of it, too, scoring nine points on 3-of-14 shooting and getting into foul trouble, which allowed Kansas to send those double teams at Sullinger. Buford had a good night after a monthlong funk, scoring 19 points while hitting 6 of 10 shots, but the three reserve players who got into the game combined for zero points and didn’t take a shot. Instead of playing in Monday’s national championship game against Kentucky, the Buckeyes were headed back to Columbus after a 64-62 loss. “I mean we can’t blame it on anything,” Buford said. “We had a great season. We had a lot of doubters this season. Nobody expected us to get this far. Real proud of the guys for helping me get to the Final Four my last year.” Ohio State came into the season with plenty of questions. The Buckeyes were knocked out in the regional semifinals of the 2011 NCAA tournament as the top overall seed and lost three key players: Jon Diebler, Dallas Lauderdale and David Lighty. Ohio State was young, with 11 underclassmen, and outside of a few key spots, coach Thad Matta wasn’t sure what he had. The Buckeyes were a talented bunch, though, led by Sullinger, who shed 15 pounds in the offseason and was considered the nation’s top returning big man. Ohio State got the season off to a solid start, its only losses of the first three months on the road against Kansas — without Sullinger — Indiana and Illinois. But as the season started winding down, the Buckeyes became disjointed and selfish, playing and practicing with a complacency that infuriated Matta.

Buford wouldn’t let them leave and even though they lost to Wisconsin the next day, the Buckeyes rallied after Matta’s my-way-or-the-highway moment. Ohio State went a roll, starting with a win over Michigan State in the regular-season finale, winning eight of nine games, including a victory over top-seeded Syracuse in the regional final to earn a trip to the Big Easy. It didn’t end quite like they wanted, but it was quite a run. “It hurts, but at the same time, if you look at this team a month ago, people like you all said we wasn’t good enough to get here,” Sullinger said. “So I’m proud of these guys and everything they overcame.” Duck uniform revolutionary Arkansas coach Bobby Nike takes on the NFL Petrino crashes motorcycle FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino veered off a two-lane highway and crashed his motorcycle over the weekend, sending him to a hospital and leaving him in what his family described only as “stable condition.” He is expected to make a full recovery. Petrino crashed Sunday night near a small town 20 miles southeast of Fayetteville. State police spokesman Bill Sadler said the Razorbacks coach was taken to a hospital for treatment, but he declined to say which hospital or whether Petrino was still there Monday. The university confirmed the crash and issued a statement from Petrino’s family that disclosed no details about any potential injuries. “Coach Petrino was involved in a motorcycle accident on Sunday evening that involved no other individuals,” the statement said. “He is in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery. Our family appreciates respect for our privacy during the recovery and we are grateful for the thoughts of Razorback fans at this time.” Neither Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville or Northwest Medical Center in Springdale would confirm Petrino was a patient. The school said athletic director Jeff Long would consult with the Petrino family before providing any additional information. The crash occurred near the town of Crosses on Arkansas Highway 16, a winding road popular with motorcyclists in the rolling hills of Madison County. Sadler said Petrino’s motorcycle left the highway and crashed. Petrino led Arkansas to an 11-2 record last season and a Cotton Bowl win over Kansas State. He’s 34-17 in four seasons at the school, 21-5 over the last two, and has built the Razorbacks into a Southeastern Conference power. An avid motorcycle enthusiast, the 51-year-old Petrino has talked about owning a motorcycle and going for rides around northern Arkansas. In a 2008 interview with Northwest Arkansas Media, Petrino said he has been an avid rider since he was 10. The Helena, Mont., native said at the time that he owned a HarleyDavidson and four other motorcycles. “It’s relaxing to me,” Petrino said then. “You get out and you get to see some good scenery, and I like to ride up to Beaver Lake. It’s pretty up there. I’ve been around the outdoors. I grew up around the outdoors my whole life.” Petrino said he had never been in a bad accident on a motorcycle, though he and his friends had some mishaps. “Well, there was always the school of hard knocks,” Petrino said. “We fell off a few times and learned about it.” PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Back in 1998, Oregon and Nike teamed together to tinker with the Ducks’ traditional but tired uniforms. Out went emerald green and lemon yellow, in came spruce, mallard and a little something called “lightning.” That was just the start. The gaudy uniform craze that began with Nike co-founder Phil Knight’s alma mater has gripped every school from Maryland to Boise State, hitting Notre Dame and Michigan along the way. Is the NFL next? Nike is taking over the pros from Reebok with a gala uniform unveiling set for Tuesday in New York City. The design details are a closely guarded secret at the Beaverton-based shoe and apparel maker, but some images — there’s no way to know if they’re real or fake — have circulated on the internet. The biggest changes will likely be in the performance aspect of the uniforms, like newer lightweight fabrics and a sleek silhouette, but a few teams could get the Cinderella treatment. Nike isn’t commenting until the big reveal. “I think that what we’ll see is a subtle homage to the collegiate revolution in uniform design, but in the framework of arguably the most successful sports franchise there is, the NFL, which is more steeped in tradition that the college landscape was when Nike really got into it with Oregon,” said Paul Swangard, managing director of the university’s Warsaw Sports Marketing Center. The Ducks signed their contract with Nike in 1996. After the first major makeover in 1998, the school introduced the Nike-designed “O” logo in 2002. In 2003’s opener against Mississippi State, the Ducks wore neon yellow from helmet to shoe, which some dubbed the “Human Highlighter.” In 2006, Oregon introduced black uniforms, while “wings” were incorporated to jerseys in more recent years in a nod to the school’s mascot. “We aren’t like USC or Notre Dame or Penn State or Alabama, which are really traditional,” said Jim Bartko, who holds the title of executive senior associate athletics Director at Oregon and has close ties to Knight. “Our philosophy was that every four years we were going to change, so that every player that comes into Oregon in the football program will have a chance to be a part of a design.” Today Oregon has five different helmets, seven jerseys and six pants for 210 possible uniform combinations, enough to carry them through 17-plus seasons, minus bowl games, which usually get new garb. And that’s not counting different shoes, socks and undershirts. Old-schoolers claim that Oregon’s countless uniforms are an annoying distraction, while kids see them as cool. There’s no doubt that they benefit the Ducks in lots of ways, from merchandise revenue to the immeasurable buzz among potential students and recruits.
